Hi, I'm Franz, a filmmaker and photographer based in Switzerland and Tanzania. My passion lies in telling compelling human stories, often focusing on topics like sustainability, women's rights, the climate crisis, and conservation. I am looking to explore longer-form documentary projects and series development. With four years of diverse experience, I've taken on roles as a self-shooting director, producer, editor, and photographer to adapt to every project's unique needs. Collaborating with a skilled producer and local filmmakers, we aim to craft impactful narratives that engage audiences effectively. Our portfolio includes a hosted series, documentaries, social media videos, and photo reports, with clients like Helvetas, Biovision, VoA and Content with Purpose. I bring my own Canon camera gear and Adobe editing software, and I'm open to equipment rental based on project requirements. Let's discuss commissions and collaborations; reach out to me via Storyhunter DM or email at x. You can also explore my work at www.franzthiel.com or connect on Instagram @franzthiel.
